      It’s honestly so easy to get into and works, I’m honestly surprised it isn’t suggested more!

      (I use bazzite btw)

    Imagine not using Hannah Montana Linux. I literally can’t do it. Why would you use anything else when all the other distros are so inferior?

        openSUSE Tumbleweed made me love my computer again. It also games like I’m not even missing anything from Windoze. NVIDIA GPU and everything. I’m sure there are “better” distros, but openSUSE was the one that got me to stay, and I couldn’t be happier!

        In which ways is it better? right now I’m defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.

          Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I noticed significant gains in a couple of the games I played when switching. Specifically Minecraft and Dune: Awakening. I’m getting upwards of 100fps in Minecraft with BSL shaders on ultra now, and I’m playing on a laptop. When I was on Bazzite I was getting less than 60fps with shaders, so I didn’t use them at all.

          Depending on the DE you pick, it can be pretty good on the battery life too.

    I feel called out, “I use Bazzite btw” is literally a joke I made irl last week.

    Some Bazzite users touch grass and talk to people IRL, surprising, I know.

    Thats great!

    I actually don’t see the benefit of Bazzite, its supposed to be gaming. But I didn’t really ran into much problems using Bottles under Fedora either (which feels much less bloated), but maybe i was just lucky. I play mostly indie games from itch.

    Agreed! Skim my post history. I’m in the meme.

    And it’s because I’m so happy I have a plug n play version of Linux that I don’t have to troubleshoot. It’s more stable than W11 on my work computer. I love it so much. I could throw it on my grandmas computer and she would be fine. I’d recommend it over Mint for new Linux users.

    I wouldn’t recommend it for people who love using the command line or run virtual machines.

    Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.

        Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.

        I tried it out and challenged myself not to touch the terminal to fix anything for as long as I could, to see if it is a truly ready-out-of-the-box experience.

        It is actually very intuitive for gaming, what makes it feel more suited than most distros for me is that flatpak apps that you don’t have installed show up in the start menu, ready to add if you need them. Other OSs are leaner and cleaner but you’d have to know the package name.

        I managed to get everything started, games and stuff including minor tweaks, and the first time I needed to use the terminal was to work out how to get some fan control working. I didn’t succeed in setting it up. So I took away from that experience that low level hardware OS tasks are harder to access in Bazzite.

          Yeah, basically the only thing I really use the terminal for is ujust, a series of scripts maintained by Bazzite themselves. And ujust does have a script to install a GUI fan controller app, btw, which I’ve used to setup my own fan curves, and found it pretty darn usable despite it being the first time I’ve done such a thing.

          The OS is immutable, so you’re probably right that lower level tasks are harder, but Bazzite themselves have stepped in and created a dedicated command for pretty much anything finicky I’ve thought to do in the past year or so.

      As a nobara user: it needs a better update tool, what’s implemented is complete dogshit that acts invisibly but if you interrupt it oh boy enjoy reinstalling the entire system because you just destroyed it

      Bazzite is like a easy newbie introduction to Linux. It’s really hard to mess up Bazzite, like really hard. In the same regard it can also be a pain to install anything outside of their ecosystem. If you run it with Distrobox it’s not a big deal but I don’t see a lot of new users going that route. If you’re just looking to browse, stream, and game than Bazzite is perfect and you don’t need anything else. Beyond that? Distrobox or use a different distro.

      I tried Bazzite, I didn’t like it, I found it too limiting but I do see the appeal of it.

        I’m on Bazzite after giving the other ublue flavours a try. It took a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the new philosophy, but now I can’t see myself going back. What felt like limitations at first, now feels like good habits. All my dev work is done in containers, so it just makes sense.

      Nobara didn’t used to have a Steam Deck image. Bazzite was one of the first distros, if not the first to have one. that’s why Bazzite is more popular. there was a huge surge of people on r/SteamDeck who switched to Bazzite, and that popularity moved on to other handhelds like the ASUS ones.
